I’ve finally figured out how to text a photo from my new phone to an email address. Snapped just before 8pm from the cliffs at White Point in San Pedro.
One of the coolest pieces of marketing ever, from a competition conducted by Virgin Digital. Within this photograph are 75 band names. For instance, Pet Shop Boys, Radiohead, Black Flag, Green Day, and Smashing Pumpkins.
See if you can find ’em all. Click here for a larger image.
For inspiration, a collection of great business cards on Flickr.
Poison perfume advertisement for Christian Dior. From a distance, this woman at her mirror constitutes a skull.
Obviously inspired by Charles Allen Gilbert’s painting, “All is Vanity”.
The Tale of the Two Glasses
by Jace Daniel (b. 1969)
Once upon a time there was a glass, half empty. To this glass, everything was wrong with the world. It was covered with greasy fingerprints, the beverage it held was getting warm, and the table on which it stood was the wrong color.
“This sucks,” the glass thought. “Things just aren’t going my way.”
Standing next to this glass was another glass, half full. To this glass, the world was full of possibilities. The beverage it held was being enjoyed, and it felt fortunate to be on the table in the first place.
“How exciting,” the glass thought. “This could go anywhere.”
One moment the glass half empty looked at the glass half full. The glass half full smiled.
“Hi,” offered the glass half empty.
“Hi,” smiled the glass half full.
Then the glass half full poured itself into the glass half empty and they enjoyed a new life together happily ever after.
“Hey Jace, smile dude…”

While getting our pre-Cornell show beverages on down the street from the Wiltern at Frank ‘n Hank’s, I was trying to snap a photo and didn’t realize that the camera’s mode was set to record audio. What a classic moment it was, captured on accident. Hear it here.
What happened over the course of the next ninety seconds or so was a whirlwind round of shots with friends, trying my best to do as Bryan instructed. [click to continue…]
